What the school inspection says

“Students typically leave the school with a valuable set of qualifications and very high grades. Success breeds success. because students learn so well lower down the school, they rarely have gaps in their learning that could hinder them later. Students show a very diverse range of attributes and skills, developed in lessons and other school activities. Older students are excellent role models to younger ones … There is a very strong sense of community in the school. This is encompassed in one of the school’s four main values: ‘belong’. Everyone is part of a shared endeavour.”

About the school

Jersey College for Girls opened in 1880 in St Helier, Jersey. In 1999 the school moved to a new site adjacent to the boys’ school Victoria College, at Mont Millais in St Saviour.
Houses at the college are named after notable women: Austen Bartlett (after the author Jane Austen and the Jersey philanthropist Marie Bartlett), Cavell (Edith Cavell, the First World War nurse), Curie Fry (the chemist Marie Curie and the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry), Garrett Anderson (Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to qualify as a surgeon in Britain), Inglis (Elsie Inglis, a pioneering Scottish doctor during the First World War) and Nightingale (Florence Nightingale).
The school operates a “values passport” in which pupils can record activities they complete that are linked to the four school values: aspire, inquire, excel and belong. The library preserves the school’s heritage, with oak panelling saved from its former Victorian home at Rouge Bouillon.
Alumnae include the singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot and the former BBC foreign correspondent Jenny Hill.
